Golden-bloomed grey longhorn beetle — size comparison — facts and sources
The golden-bloomed grey longhorn beetle lives in tall-herb vegetation, woodland edges and lush vegetation in open European areas. It particularly favours damp sites with nettles and umbellifers. Fine hairs in grey, yellow and dark shades cover its body.
Adults eat the leaves of herbaceous plants. They occur in late spring and summer, when stems are well developed. Larvae bore inside shoots, using nettles, thistles and creeping thistles among other plants.
Other Agapanthia species may look similar, so antennal segment colours and details of the hairs are more important than the length of these appendages alone.
